3. Verne Lundquist, college football on CBS. No other voice in college football says big game like Lundquist. (I enjoy Lundquist's work on college basketball, too, just wish he wasn't paired with Bill Raftery.)

4. Len Kasper, Chicago Cubs on WGN and Comcast Chicago. Has become an incredibly comfortable listen for a team that's often uncomfortable to watch.

5. Gus Johnson, college basketball on FOX Sports. I know many people hate his over-the-top calls, but I love them.

6. Ian Darke, soccer on ESPN and NBC Sports Network.

7. Al Michaels, NFL on NBC. I still would rather hear him doing baseball calls, but he's the best play-by-play guy in the NFL at the moment.

8. Brad Nessler, college football and college basketball on ESPN and ABC. The guy's a fun listen no matter what he calls, and he works a lot.

9. Wayne Larrivee, college football and college basketball on Big Ten Network. I might enjoy hearing his voice more than any other announcer in sports. He'd be higher on this list if he wasn't the radio voice of the Green Bay Packers. Just being honest.

10. Joe Buck, NFL and Major League Baseball on FOX. For no reason other than you know it's a big game when Joe Buck is there. And his dad was great.
